REFLECTION: First Sunday of Lent: Gen 9:8-15, 1 Peter 3:18-22 and Mark 1:12-15
Bangalore (India), 02/21/2021, Sr. Anula Irvin Suguna.- Each year Lent invites us to take stock of our lives, to look at what we do: our choices, our behaviours, our actions and reactions. It is a challenge to look into ourselves and recognize the truth of who we are. Church offers us this time of grace to re-enter our inner self and bring order in our lives, through fasting, prayer and almsgiving.
